iPhone 3G will not charge with my car charger This is something I did not even think to check till driving into iphonebarcamp today. The iphone 3G would not charge on my car charger. FTW? Well, seems like it’s a common problem and here is the reason, the pin that normally accepts power for firewire is no longer connected. Here is the quote from… Read More

The new Iphone suxs And why does it sux? Is it the fact that the screen has this faded yellow shade to it? Naw, I can get used to that. I’m sure they made it warmer to extend battery life. A hack will come along to resolve it. Is it the fact that all those cool programs from 1.1.x… Read More
Anger of the crowds If you hit the interwebs, don’t be surprised when it hits back. (The anger of the crowds) There are plenty of stories on how numbers of people use the web for righting wrongs; catching petty thiefs, freeing a reporter from prison in a foreign land, fighting a cult (or religion depending on how you look… Read More
When you run out of Karma… (Updated) Never spend all your Karma in one place. (updated) My bad week started Sunday night and I’m hoping it ends tonight… (it didnt) Sunday I take my tablet computer, the tc1100 (the only used tablet that is costing more as it gets older) with me on a visit to my nieces and nephews in Sacto.… Read More
google IO party I have not been to many events in the last month, been REALLY busy. So much so, I would not even bother writing this post. However, after seeing the google IO party, I have to make an exception. I still am busy though, so this will be short and choppy. Please note all images were… Read More

How to write a cheque THIS is how you write a cheque (check). Love it. Just love it! The only thing that would have been better is if Randall would have spelled out ‘the limit of the sum of (1/2^n) since your suppose to write the amount, in words, in the second line. 🙂 Image below..… Read More

Chris Matthews goes up a few points in my book As I’ve said, I really cannot take Lou Dobbs. Even adultswim lists Lou as ‘FAIL’ along with MS Vista. So I need to have something on, so I switched to Hardball. I thought Chris was ok and I can watch (really listen) while waiting for Olbermann who I find a bit harsh but ALWAYS entertaining.… Read More
The making of twittfilter – twitter search bot So, given that I work in technology, and web2.0 for that matter, whatever that means, one would think all of my blogs would be about software. And yet, this is my first. Now many of you know I have been playing around with building a twitter service to deal with twitter overload. The easy fix… Read More
Hillery by 10%. And it drags on and so does the damage to both candidates. Despite some of the silly projections, the Democrats will win the whitehouse this year with the simple action of connect McCain to Bush. Already started in fact. Most of the pundits are pointing to Obama’s comments in San Francisco as the reason he lost at the margin… Read More
Obama see’s his shadow. Another 6+ weeks of Dem fighting Man. What a drag. Obama was closing on Clinton in Penn, had kept a +5 lead for the last 5 days. It looked like after next week, we can get past this Dem in fighting. Well, forget that.. You go into these small towns in Pennsylvania and, like a lot of small towns in the… Read More
Sf torch run Well, after many changes in the course, it looks like they are going to go from doyle dr to the airport. What a shame. I do not mind all the changes in the course, but to simply stop, in the middle of the street and have the ending cerimony at the airport is really weak.… Read More
Beginning of the end? Perhaps I’ve been watching the news everyday (it’s a sickness) and although there is not a single event I can point to that indicates the Clinton campaign could be on the downward slope, I think I just saw the straw landing on the camels back. First, the numbers. Based on the gallup poll, we watched the… Read More
Lou Dobbs, please go away Normally I do not single out any particular pundit or personality, but over the last month, I’ve found that I just cannot stand Lou Dobbs anymore. So much so that I now switch to Chis Matthews or sometimes Shepard Smith (just to hear what the right is saying). My main issue with Lou is just… Read More
Ferraro breaks the back ok, for the longest time, I was on the fence between Obama and Clinton but leaning to Obama purely because I thought he would attract less heat from the right. But now, after the last 2 days, I think I’ve had enough of the Clinton campaign and Hillery’s reaction to Ferraro … to NOT cut… Read More
litl’ bush … FTW? There are very few shows out there that are just plain stupid, and not in a good stupid, but why didn’t the writers stay on strike for this? Normally I would not care, but its the lead for John Stewart. Gezzz..… Read More
Nadar and Palm Apps on the iPhone So Ralph Nadar is back in the game eh? To tell the truth, I think this is last we are going to hear about it. Nadar’s appeal has been from the disaffected democrats and some independent elements. Normally Ralph can count on some of the college vote, but I think Obama has that tapped. I’ll… Read More
